I Matter Events
Intensive Foundation Starters and Extension Learning
FOUNDATION STARTER AND EXTENSION EVENTS
I Matter Events offer a face to face intensive burst of I Matter thinking. I Matter Events and the I Matter Journey always include some key details. There are conversations to have and ideas to learn and things to think about. The journey is designed to support a learning together community. What is it that children need from adults? What do adults need from other adults? What is the research evidence REALLY telling us about how to improve outcomes for children?
Which event you attend depends on where your community is in their I Matter learning process. If your community is just getting started then a professional or a cluster can register interest in attending a starter event. If your community is further on then you may have a starter or extension event running where you are.
Then you can study and think together... and then ... you never know what might prove possible... Remember that I Matter involves a longer term learning process

WHO IS I MATTER LIVE NETWORK TRAINING FOR?
Professionals: This training is for any professional who works with children and families: We will sometimes be running specific events with a specialist focus but the I Matter Framework offers a universal perspective. Our current priority is supporting schools who are supporting challenging and complex children.
Parents: Parents must be linked to a member school or service. Again we will sometimes be running specific events with a specialist focus but I Matter training can be helpful for everyday and escalated challenges
All professionals and parents will be asked to complete an initial application/registration stage and should be able to provide a reference from their school or service. As we are a small project and places are limited, we cannot guarantee everyone a place. If a place is offered we will then request payment details.
